Let's address the thousand pound god in the room....

I'm not exactly known as the guy who keeps his opinions silent, so i'm going to say this here and now....There are huge differences between the words "Religion" and "Theology". I keep hearing ignorant blanket-statements about Islam, from people who have neither cracked open a Q'ran nor spent more than 7 seconds in a mosque.  "Islam teaches this. Islam teaches that." Absolute non-sense.  Islam is not representative of those who twist it's scriptures to justify their actions or teach hate. That's not ISLAM, that's THAT TEACHER.  Just like you christians wouldn't want the entirety of christianity to be represented by the actions of the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakers or Jimmy Swaggarts  of this world...that not to mention the countless other "preachers" who have been proven to be liars, hypocrites, cheaters, and thiefs. Hell, I'll tell you about a preacher in Columbus, Ohio who pisses on the very name of the so-called "christ" he represents.  Rod Parsley is a well-known (at least in the midwest) tele-evangelist. He holds telethons on LESEA fairly often.  I was watching one, when I saw something that disgusted me. "For Donations Call 1-800-XXX-XXXX"   on one side of the screen. "For Prayer Call 614-XXX-XXXX" on the other.....do you see that??  So, if i'm calling to give you money, that call is toll-free...but if I need prayer, I have to call you long-distance at my own expense?? That's how you represent your god?? Now, should I judge ALL of christianity based on that experience? Of course not!  But yet, it's fully acceptable for you to hate all of Islam, because of the teachings of the extremists? Come on, get real.

By the way, while you're being so "holy" and all, remember THIS. Christianity isn't a religion of peace.  In fact, your Jesus himself said "I didn't come to bring peace, I came to bring a sword". Your god ordered Saul to go into the land and "slay every man, woman, child, and beast. Leave nothing alive". Christians have committed countless murders and mass-slayings in the name of their religion, for centuries......Stop being hypocrites.
